Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup water
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)
- 0.25 cup almonds, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, water, and salt over medium heat.
Bring to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer, stirring frequently, for about 10-12 minutes or until the oats are creamy and have absorbed most of the liquid.
Once the porridge has reached your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and stir in the honey and vanilla extract.
Divide the porridge evenly between two bowls.
Top each bowl with a generous helping of mixed berries, ensuring a good variety for visual appeal and flavor.
Sprinkle with sliced almonds for added crunch.
Dust lightly with cinnamon to complement the sweetness and enhance the aroma.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious and warming breakfast.
